Feeling like a Bad Mom!

This whole week I have felt like a bad mom! My kids think, well my one son thinks that all I care about is house work. What he fails to see is that I am trying to make sure that he knows how to follow through with things, and to do his best.
Also the boys just can't seem to leave Lil alone. They judy have to tease her until she is screaming at the top of her lungs. This goes on at least 3 times a week.
I have just had it, and am fit to be tied!
Last night Big Daddy came home and had a nice, (not very nice) talk with the kids. Three of them were sitting on the couch crying. This happens about Once a year. Even though they haven't been very nice to me, and many times I feel like just going in my room and locking the door, I still feel bad for them when they get THE TALK. The talk isn't all that bad, Big Daddy sits them down and say's to them who is the most important person in this world to me? Then he says when you treat her bad and make her cry that doesn't make me very happy does it. He helps them understand that I don't only care aboaut the house work, and homework.
I could care less about house work, have you seen my house? it's not even close to my grandmas house, or my mother in laws house.
By the end we are all good again. I think the kids just get tired on hearing me everyday say the same things. Somtimes they just need a talk from their dad. I am always the bad guy because I am always home. Josh is at work supporting the family.
The talk must have worked, because this morning has been better.

Amen...I hate being the bad guy too. I think all of my kids are as sick of this weather as I am, and maybe if it would get warm they could go out and get rind of all that energy that they use to torture each other with!!!
